Very Challenging!
But, you forgot to put in Clue 5.

Oops. That's twice in a row I goofed up my numbering! I hope you enjoyed it though.
I don't understand your arithmetic.
In clues 1,2, and 6 you mention 4 women. There are 5 people and 2 are supposed to be men. 2 from 5 is 3, not 4.

Oops! Maybe they are all women!
Me, again. I finally reread the introduction and solved my problem!
Good. I'm glad that your problem was solved!
very good! Yeah, I had to read it through a couple of times to realize that they were all girls.
Another great job!
wo! that was great!
very nice! tricky at first, not sure why but a happy conclusion =)
have to say though, salad, soup and pizza don't sound very Thai

Yeah it happens to the best of us.
This was challenging but I'm glad I didn't give up. Thank you!
The one word that best describes this puzzle is "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Really thrown by the gender determination before realizing they were all girls haha good puzzle!
Really liked this one. Took a few read throughs before I finally got the result.
This one was really challenging. Had to reread the clues and start over at least once.
Nice job, but an additional clue is needed as there are two solutions to the current puzzle.
Needs a bit of a rewrite. The first names shows 3 females and 2 males, going back to the clues given, it shows 4 females. Ms. Efferman, Ms. Cheek, Ms. Adams and Ms. Devlin.
